Outside, gunfire erupted continuously, causing the entire medical room to tremble thrice over. Yun Chu bent over stitching up the wounds of the injured. Sweat mingling with blood soaked her hair, her clear and pretty face becoming disheveled and stressed. She was hardly recognizable, and anyone would hardly guess that she was the only daughter of Mayor Yun, the young miss of the Yun family.

The chaotic hot environment did not distract her at all. As a doctor, saving lives and healing the injured is her responsibility. Moreover, she was the captain of the C Country's medical rescue team; she had to lead from the front.

Crash! The rudimentary door was kicked open, four or five soldiers covered in blood, rushed in supporting a stretcher. The soldier on the stretcher was bleeding profusely, spattering blood on the ground. The leading soldier stood straight, with delicate features, and a frosty aura emanated from his entire being. "Who's in charge?" he asked.

Yun Chu calmly replied, "Me."

He strode over and put the muzzle of his gun to her head, "Save him now, or I'll kill you all!"

She was not frightened, staring straight at him, "Do you expect me to perform surgery in this way?"

Recognizing the familiar brows and eyes, Xiao Mo was slightly stunned and quickly tucked away his gun.

She coldly spat out a word, " Scram!"

The soldiers in the room looked horrified. No one ever had the audacity to speak to their leader in such a tone. This girl is done!

Yet he retracted the palpable chill emanating from his body, sneakily smiled and said, "Alright."

He exited the room with his men.

Yun Chu immediately ordered her assistant to move the injured onto the operating table. "Quick! Hemostatic forceps! Blood bag!"

"Captain, the patient's pulse is so weak that it seems he has stopped breathing!"

Yun Chu swiftly performed CPR on him.

From afar, Xiao Mo squinted at the woman who had bellowed at him. She was working strenuously at chest compressions, fingers and face sprinkled with fresh blood, the white gown stained red. She didn't care about all these at all. It seemed she was the uninterrupted queen of the OR, performing every action swiftly and with confidence!

By midnight, the soldier's surgery was successfully completed, he was sent back to his country. Only then did Yun Chu breath a sigh of relief. She wearily walked out of the operation room, washing off the bloodstains from her hands by a water pipe.

Suddenly, a towel was handed over. She looked up to see a stern face that halted her gratitude mid-phrase. Honestly, she didn't hold a good impression of this man - crude, barbaric, domineering...

He lit a cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke from his thin, sexy lips towards her, "Remember, my name is Xiao Mo. Xiao as in the sudden wind, Mo as in the violent rainstorm."

So, he was the illustrious Xiao Mo, a legendary figure in the military and political circles.

Rumor had it that he was of humble origin. He entered the military camp at the age of twelve. He made a name for himself at sixteen, became a tiger in the army at twenty, and rose steadily ever since. Now, at the age of only twenty-seven, he had become a general of country C. He was invincible in battle, ruthless to his enemies and tougher on himself. Even his father had to treat him with an ounce of fear. It was better to avoid such a person!

Choked by his smoke, Yun Chu started coughing. Her fine little face turned red, looking cute and charming. She threw the used handkerchief at him angrily. As they brushed past each other, he suddenly gripped her wrist. Subconsciously, she reached for the scalpel in her pocket. If he dared to bully her, she would fight him to the end!

"Thank you for saving my soldier."

Her voice was faint, "It's merely my duty, General Xiao, no need to take it to heart."

He clasped her hands behind her back with one hand, whispering in her ear, "Take care."

She stared at him blankly, his stern eyebrows and eyes were so familiar yet she couldn't recall anything.

At this moment, the medical team was approaching in groups.

Suddenly, he let go of her, causing her to stagger backward. He swept her up by the waist and held her close. From a distance, their postures seemed ambiguous. She tried to kick him between the legs, but he clamped her with his long legs. Trying to keep the romantic illusion alive, he raised his hand to her lips. The soft texture made him want to kiss her.

She glared at him in disgust. But he just smirked, let go of her, leaving a cryptic message, "There will be a long time in the future."

He had already walked far away.

Yun Chu's lips still had a faint taste of tobacco. She returned to the sink, scooping up cold water to fiercely scrub her lips until they were almost chapped.

The sisters from the medical team gathered around. Everyone came from different backgrounds, and did not know each other well enough to make accurate guesses.

"Yun Chu, could Major Xiao be the one you're looking for?"

"How could it be? The one Yun Chu is looking for is her fiance."

Woman A wore a smitten look on her face, "I feel relieved then, Major Xiao is handsome and hardworking. I heard he climbed all the way up to his current position from being a simple soldier."

Woman B couldn't help but be a wet blanket, "Enough. I heard he does not have an interest in women. Such a man, how can ordinary people like us control him?"

Yun Chu forced a smile, turned, and left. She was tired and leaned on the long bench in the corridor. She opened her wallet and gently caressed the photos in it. A good-looking man and woman, both smiling beautifully.

The man was her fiance, Rong Mubai, who was also her childhood friend.

Ever since she could remember, she knew that she would be his wife. The Yun family was bound to marry into the Rong family, especially since she was Yun family's young lady.

If you were to ask if she liked him, she certainly did. Partly because of the love that came with time and partly because she would have to marry someone eventually, and more so because Rong Mubai was a decent choice.

He was good-looking, gentle and courteous, not arrogant like the children of the high-ranking officials, and treated her extremely well.

This marriage was always envied by her half-sibling, Yun Xi.

If she didn't marry Rong Mubai, her father would always threaten her to marry Wang Mubai, Li Mubai... or even people she didn't know. Given this, it's better to marry someone she was familiar with.

In a couple of months, they were supposed to get married. But where did you go, Rong Mubai?

All she knew was that he had joined the battle between Country C and Country D and had disappeared half a year ago. Even the Rong family couldn't find any news about him.

Currently, the Rong family is a favorable candidate for the presidency of Country C, so they can only suppress this issue. As the wedding date was quickly approaching, she decided to join the medical team in the hopes of finding him.

The office of the military camp's commander.

The room's layout was simplistic, exuding an icy cold atmosphere. Monochrome obsidian coloured the room, even the curtains were heavy and black.

On Xiao Mo's desk was a pile of photographs. The woman in the photographs was clearly Yun Chu, appearing as a beautiful, adorable child, then as an elegant adolescent girl, and finally as her current pretty and delicate self.

He traced the elegant eyebrows and eyes of the woman in the photograph with his fingers. His profound eyes filled with a touch of laughter, "You came into this situation yourself; you can't blame me."

Curling up the corner of his lips, he immediately dialed the number to cell block X, where all the dangerous criminals and those that political figures want to erase were held.

"Release Rong Mubai and send him back to the Rong family as quickly as possible."

"But sir, this agreement is part of your negotiation with the Jiang family. If Vice President Jiang blames us, won't that put us in a difficult position?"

"Shut up! Just do as I say."

He paused momentarily, "Also, bring all the brothers here tomorrow."

The man on the other end of the line, Cheng Feng, seemed very excited, "Commander, do we have a new mission? We were just getting bored and looking for a place to use some energy."

"We're proposing."

Cheng Feng inhaled sharply, "Hiss..."
